Freedom Valley Farm Marks Fall as Peak Season for Beef, Chicken Orders

Oct 12, 2026

Order grass-fed beef and pasture-raised chicken now, as fall marks peak timing for both. Beef from Freedom Valley Farm finishes on the season’s richest pasture before winter hay feeding begins, while chicken production — raised seasonally in Maryland — winds down for the year.

-- Freedom Valley Farm, a pasture-raised meat producer based in White Hall, Maryland, is pointing customers toward fall as the strongest window of the year to order grass-fed beef and pasture-raised chicken.

The timing comes down to two separate production calendars. The farm’s beef comes from partner farms in Pennsylvania — including operations run by George Lake, Bill Brooks, and Stephan Schoen — that follow the same rotational grazing standard Freedom Valley Farm holds its own animals to. By fall, those cattle have spent a full season on pasture, finishing on the richest grass of the year before the farms transition them to hay for winter.

Chicken runs on a different schedule. Freedom Valley Farm raises its birds on pasture at the Maryland farm in batches timed to warm weather, and does not raise chickens through the winter. Fall is the last stretch of the year’s chicken production before that window closes.

“Fall is when people start thinking seriously about what’s going in the freezer for the next few months,” said Ryan Hamby, owner of Freedom Valley Farm. “Buying a quarter or half beef now usually means a better price per pound than waiting until closer to the holidays.”

The farm ships frozen, pasture-raised chicken and 100% grass-fed beef to customers in 24 states via UPS, alongside pasture-raised pork. Customers can also pick up orders at the farm’s on-farm store in White Hall or a monthly drop-site in Shrewsbury, Pennsylvania.

Bulk orders — quarter, half, or whole beef, and chicken in batches of 12 or more — carry better per-pound pricing than individual cuts, a common entry point for households planning ahead of the holidays rather than scrambling once the weather turns cold.
